Contact UW-Green Bay Operations Department (ext. 2241) for cleanup of all major blood incidents on the Campus.

Put on gloves and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Appropriate PPE may include safety glasses or splash goggles, lab coats, masks and face shields. If disposable gloves are used, it is suggested that two pair of gloves be donned. Outer glove can then be readily removed if soiled with hand protection still provided by inner glove.

Remove the paper towels and repeat the process until all visual soilage is removed.

Re-wet cleaned area with disinfectant and air dry or let stand for 10 minutes before wiping dry.

Place all contaminated paper towels in a “red bag” or an autoclave bag for appropriate disposal. All contaminated sharps must be placed in a sharps container. Waste bags and sharps containers should be brought to Health Services (SS 1400) or the Laboratory Science biology prep room (LS 455) for waste management.
